Chapter 966 - 966 Please
966 Please
Wen Yujing immediately kowtowed and said, ” please forgive me, Empress Dowager! It’s not that I am hemming and hawing, but that those words are just too difficult to say!”
The Empress Dowager looked at Wen Yujing suspiciously and asked, ” Oh? Then tell me, what did you see that was so hard to say?”
Seeing the Empress Dowager’s stern expression, Wen Yujing gritted her teeth and said, ” reporting to the Empress Dowager, when Mrs. Zeng and I rushed to a room in the backyard, they saw the eldest miss of the Zeng family lying naked on a man’s body. And that man is a servant of the Zeng Manor!”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, her expression turned cold at first, then she said angrily, ” preposterous! This is really preposterous!”
Wen Yujing continued to kowtow, ” so, please. Empress Dowager, for the Duke zhengguo’s Manor, this eldest miss of the Zeng family, is so … My son really couldn’t marry her into the Jiang family.
“Although Ye ‘er is not the first son of the Duke, even if he married a pure woman from a low family, he would not be willing to marry a lascivious woman from a high family!
“This is ruining my family’s Ye ‘er and ruining Duke zhengguo’s mansion’s reputation. Empress Dowager, you must seek justice for us!”
She had repeatedly asked the Empress Dowager to help them. She knew that Empress Dowager couldn’t stand and hated these promiscuous women the most.
With Duke zhengguo’s mansion’s identity, background, status, and reputation, they would never marry a promiscuous slut who would bring disaster to the entire Duke zhengguo’s mansion.
Although Zeng Yanli brought bad luck to her husband and was infatuated with beautiful men, she had never been caught in the bed.
Now, on the eve of marriage, she was caught in the bed. No matter how one looked at it, it was indeed preposterous.
After Empress Dowager’s anger subsided, she calmed down. Her stern and dignified expression made it seem like she was thinking.
After a moment, she said, ” in that case, I … will make the decision for you and persuade the Emperor to cancel this marriage.
As long as the empress dowager spoke, the Emperor would most likely listen to him.
However, before she could finish her sentence, an old eunuch came to report, ” Empress Dowager, eunuch Zhang is here!”
Eunuch Zhang was facing the eunuch beside him.
There was definitely something going on for him to come over now.
The Empress Dowager immediately responded, ” let him in!”
Wen Yujing’s heart was in her mouth, waiting for Empress Dowager to speak and cancel the marriage. But she didn’t expect that a eunuch would come out of nowhere, which made her angry.
However, she quickly hid her expression well. It was just that her face with makeup still looked pale and Haggard.
After eunuch Zhang entered and saluted the Empress Dowager, he said directly, ” Empress Dowager, His Majesty asked me to come over and bring the Zhengguo Duke’s wife to Kun Ning Palace!
Kun Ning Palace was the Empress’s bedroom.
The Empress Dowager immediately asked, “Eunuch Zhang, did something happen? ”
Eunuch Zhang said, ” it’s the wife of the Minister of revenue who asked the Empress to make a decision, saying that Duke zhengguo’s mansion is bullying people too much! The Emperor and Empress want to ask the Zhengguo Duke’s wife to explain what happened!”
The Empress Dowager immediately asked in surprise, ” what’s going on? ”
According to Wen Yujing, the Zeng Manor was clearly in the wrong, but why did it seem like the people of the Zeng Manor had been wronged?
Eunuch Zhang smiled and shook his head. “Empress Dowager, you’re not in good health. You should rest well. After his Majesty and the Empress have found out the truth, they will naturally explain this to you!”
The Empress Dowager nodded and said, ” yes!”
Then, she turned to Wen Yujing and said, “Did you hear that? ”
Wen Yujing didn’t know what had happened, but her heart suddenly palpitated with fear. She had a very bad feeling.
She really wanted to ask the Empress Dowager for help, but the Emperor and Empress had summoned her. She could only brace herself and reply, ” yes, Empress Dowager.”
The Empress Dowager nodded and said, ” well, since this matter has alarmed the Emperor, then let’s tell the Emperor so that he can help your Duke zhengguo’s mansion. I am old. I just want to rest! You guys can leave!”
Wen Yujing’s heart sank, but she could only reply, “yes, Empress Dowager! Then, I will take my leave!”
Nanyuan Manor
Guo Bing was very curious about what method Lin yuelan had used to stop Wen Yujing from breaking off the engagement.
He pestered Lin yuelan and said, “Miss Lin, please tell me. What do you want to do so that Wen Yujing won’t be able to break off the engagement? ”
Lin yuelan was weighing the rice seeds in her hands, and she ignored Guo Bing’s questions.
It was time to plant the seeds, so Lin yuelan asked her servants to pick out the ripe grains to use as seeds.
Of course, not all of the 1000 mu of land was for planting rice.
However, after she was pestered so many times, she smiled at Guo Bing and said, ” hehe, do you want to know? ”
Guo Bing quickly nodded.
Lin yuelan sneered, ” Hmph! I don’t want to tell you!”
In fact, this didn’t even require any schemes.
She just needed to restore the truth.
As for how to restore this truth?
To others, it might take some effort, but to her, hehe, it was a very simple matter.
Kun Ning Palace
The plump Mrs. Zeng saw Wen Yujing and immediately rushed forward in anger, wanting to give her a few slaps.
Fortunately, the palace maidservants stopped her.
However, she was still very indignant. “you evil woman, how can you be so evil? ” she scolded Wen Yujing.
Wen Yujing’s face paled. She was very nervous, but she could only remain calm.
She immediately retorted, ” Mrs. Zeng, please don’t make such slanderous accusations! How did I become a vicious woman? It’s clearly you who didn’t teach your daughter well, and she became a fickle woman. How come it’s the other way around? How dare you call me the evil one?”
When Mrs. Zeng heard this, she cursed angrily with her hands on her hips, ” You were the one who set my daughter up, and now you have the cheek to talk about my daughter …”
